Office 2k3 - Messaging interface returned unknown error when I reply all or print a message

[pauljamestran]

I am running Vista Ultimate that was shipped with Office 2007.

I removed office 2007 as I was having problems with Outlook running
incredibly slow. I've installed Office 2k3 and am now getting the
following error message when I reply-all or print a message.

"Messaging Interface has returned an unknown error. If the problem
persists restart outlook."

I've seen a lot of similar situations on forums but none of the
solutions have helped.

Please help!

Paul

See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/814441/en-us "Error message when you
try to read or to delete e-mail, or when you click 'Send/Receive' in
Outlook: 'An unknown error has occurred' or 'Messaging interface has
caused an unknown error'". You should back up your Outlook .pst file(s)
*before* you attempt the repair procedure, just in case Something Bad
happens.
